The second UFC event in Saudi Arabia is now set with 11 total fights leading to the main event where former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya clashes with Nassourdine Imavov in a five-round showdown in Riyadh.
The UFC revealed the full fight card headed to Saudi Arabia on Feb. 1, although the final bout order hasn’t been determined yet.
In addition to Adesanya vs. Imavov, Michael “Venom” Page moves up to 185 pounds when he faces highly touted prospect Shara “Bullet” Magomedov, who is coming off one of the most creative knockouts of 2024 with a remarkable double spinning backfist against Armen Petrosyan.
One-time interim heavyweight title challenger Sergei Pavlovich also returns in February as he looks to stop a two-fight losing skid when he faces the always dangerous Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
Following a short-notice appearance against Robert Whittaker in 2024, Ikram Aliskerov attempts to get back on track in his career when he faces grappling ace Andre Muniz while Terrance McKinney makes his return against Damir Hadzovic in a lightweight fight with explosive potential.
